Just this weekend i saw part of a USDM sale brochure. Had the "woody" KE/TE38.

 

Kinda shocked me a little, coming from a japanese car maker.

 

And a MKII Corona :P

For people who like this page, you should really check this out...

 

Unbelievable abandoned thread of mostly Euro stuff, but some incredible photos and very rare cars. Lots of repeated photos for some reason but still amazing.

 

WARNING - this page is MASSIVE and takes quite a while to load...

Stumbled accross more pics of the abandoned Toyota dealership in Varosha (as featured on pages 19 & 20)

 

Sadly these cars are likely to remain unseen and unavailable indefinately, and would probably just be destroyed anyway if the town is ever inhabited again.

 

 

 

 

dang...

 

double dang...

 

A whole dealership with odometres like this...

But one of the items mentioned in the book close to my heart is Varosha. See, I was born just a few miles from there. It was a resort on the island of Cyprus. When my mother was alone and pregnant with me, she would often go to the beaches of Varosha, and while I was growing up, she always spoke fondly of the place. But sadly, in 1974, there was this huge Turkish and Greek conflict, and the city was abandoned rather abruptly as the Turks advanced. So abruptly, it's kind of like a modern Pompeii. As in, food was left on tables, clothes on the line, and there's a famous Toyota dealership in town that proudly displays the new 1974 line of cars in the window. Few people have returned there since. Those that have report an eerie calm in the sunny Mediterranean sun, which due some poor planning, the high rises block the beach of any sunlight after 1pm (my mother liked that, actually).

 

The only people that have inhabited the streets since that day are Turkish soldiers who are ordered "shoot to kill," pretty much. While a lot of Cyprus is starting to renew itself after a few dark decades of bitter conflict, the Turkish army controls the Varosha completely. Today Varosha is not accessible by anyone except Turkish military and UN personnel, and the buildings are slowly falling apart.

 

Your call, do you think it would be worth it?

 

Maybe go get a job in the UN!!
